1. It's fuckin' disgusting when customers don't have the stuff ready to go when the driver arrives …….. Should add 20% to the pay or no deal!!

2. R.I.P.ROY you where very good at your job maybe a bit grumpy lol but very very professional.!

3. To know that Roy is dead

4. Roy was fantastic. RIP

5. Rest in peace old man we loved you

6. In my opinion Roy definitely didn't let anyone walk all over him. He made sure that he told people how it was. R.i.p. Roy.

7. I don't have a problem at all with this relatively new development in television programming involving relatively interesting people or subject matter. In fact, I at times welcome it as an enjoyable alternative to some of the garbage or nasty stuff some pass off as comedy these days, etc.

   Admittedly, we have some of these new shows where they have to bleep some of the dialogue, that doesn't really bother me much, I'm not any sort of saint myself. I just viewed one of these first episodes of Shipping Wars. I was actually doing a few things on my laptop while I half ways paid attention to the show.  Every now and then I'd stop and watch it and was beginning to think it may actually be something entertaining to watch, although I'm personally not that big a fan of the "wars'' programming that comes with today's so-called reality stuff, "Storage, Parking, whatever ". However after a while, I began to get a little disoriented with Roy, who is supposedly a main character, perhaps 'the' main one, didn't leave it on long enough, from the looks of it here, he likely is. I understand he is considered the "A" hole on the show, that's not what irritated me so much. It was really more to do with the 28 or so "bleeps" per sentence of his dialogue of the that good old "F' word that we all know so well that got to be pretty tiresome for me, anyways.

   I doubt if we'll have any kids wanting to be another "Roy", or that his language or behavior won't necessarily be any kind of downfall for "all examples" of what should be televised for all to witness on these new shows, in fact unfortunately, we tend to make people like  this 'Roy' a star personality sometimes.

   All I'm going to say here, at this time,  all I'm seeing out of this jerk is a tired old fart ranting around, being absolutely as rude as one could imagine. My dad told me something once that stuck, and I've found it to often be true. When you hear somebody curse like that they usually aren't intelligent enough to say much…well… intelligent. Additionally, if in fact this dude ever does get anywhere with his 'character', he'll probably eventually emerge as some "nicer" guy than first meets the eye, and all that bullshit. We know it all too well. I don't care how many "cats" he travels with, or whatever may come along to show us how "really soft or human" this fella is. The fact will remain he "whored" himself out right from the start with showing us the ass he probably really is at heart. Money or fame has a way of only masking that, really. It's one thing to have to endure these kind of people in everyday life, but quite different for a network to parade it around on public television. Pretty disappointed with A&E, I usually like much of what I watch on that channel. 

   Maybe if they displayed the "warning" thing before each return to the show…What a joke. I'm 12-13 years old, got a TV to myself, that all the more reason to lock it in.  I know most networks are guilty of it, but…thank a bunch A&E.
